Hi Khabou, There are several interpretations to your question..
If you want to query the exact different physical locations of a file, you can query the ring as follows. *# find the account id for a given account > # > # $password = the general swift admin pass > # $account = the account to which the file you're looking for belongs > # (and change the host / port / protocol to match your setup)* *swauth-list -A http://localhost:8080/auth/ -K $password $account* *# Find location of files for a given object > # > # $id = the id retrieved through the command above > # $container = the container in which the file resides > # $file = the name of the file* *swift-get-nodes /etc/swift/object.ring.gz $id $container $file* * * * * This will tell you were the file matching the "/account/container/file" path you provided will reside (giving both the primary + hand-off locations). It will do so regardless of whether that path (and thus file) actually exists, since as soon as you have build the ring that information is static / known for every possible combination of that "/account/container/file" path. (that may change if the ring gets rebuild) If this is not the answer to your question, please elaborate a little more on what you want to achieve exactly.
